Outlook/Office 365 loads wrong display name on To: field.
I think I found the solution!
The issue with Outlook displaying the incorrect name is a failure of the Offline Global Address Book to properly update with the Display Name settings on Office 365 Website.
Here is the solution from start to finish:
Step 1) Login to Office 365 website as a Global Administrator
Step 2) In the "Admin Center" select "Users"
Step 3) Change the Display Name and Aliases.
Step 4) Log out of Website
Step 5) Open Outlook Program
Step 6) Go to File-> Info -> Accounting Settings (drop-down)-> Account Settings
Step 7) Double click on account with incorrect display name
Step 8) Uncheck box "Use Cached Exchange Mode to download email to an Outlook data file"
Step 9) Hit Next, then Finish
Step 10) Restart Outlook
You can go back and select the box again if you want. Hope this works for you guys. Here is a Microsoft article that I found once I knew what to look for: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2429946/how-to-troubleshoot-the-outlook-offline-address-book-in-an-office-365
